Chapter 42
JANE:
It’s been one week since the incident with Alpha Leo and Katherine, and every day I still see Katherine in my dreams and ask myself why she would just let me be.
Zane’s been acting strangely too. Coming home lare, and sometimes he’s drunk but lies there was a company celebration. I felt like I was slowly losing everything I had worked so hard to build like I was going back to being nothing. Whatever I had done to Katherine ended up not hurting her for as long as I wanted it to hurt her.
Now, I was 3 and half weeks pregnant and my worst fear was birthing my child with Katherine still alive. She would harm my precious and with that beast by her side, Zane doesn’t stand a chance against him when that day comes.
Finally, the long–awaited call I had been expecting arrived. That one week, I didn’t just sit back and let the thought of Katherine still being alone taunt me completely. I was making my plans, and this time, Zane had to be out else he would stop me from whatever I had in mind,
“Jackson?” I answered the call, but placed the phone close to myself on the bed,
“Ma’am, I have everything you wanted, but it seems there was little or no information about Alpha Leo’s family. I could only find out very little about his sister, Tanya.”
“Good. That little might just be enough for what I want. Let’s meet at the usual place in 2 hours, and don’t be fucking late like last time.” I said.
In a hurry, I rose to my feet after the call had ended and began to dress. When I got ready, I rushed out of the room and down the living room,
My eyes
found the wall clock, and I heaved in disappointment. Zane would be back in less than 2 hours meaning I couldn’t stay long. “Hey you,” I called the attention of one of the maids in the living room, and she rushed towards me,
“When my husband returns, tell him I went out to see a doctor. The pack doctor failed to arrive on time.” She nodded her head and I walked out, adjusting my coat properly and clutching tighter on my keys. As soon as I got to the garage, I found my red car and drove out of the compound.
Almost 2 hours later, I got to the spot where I was supposed to meet Jackson and my car. I stepped out of the car and began to move forward, hoping he would have been waiting for me,
“Good, you’re early this time. Now, let’s see what you have for me. I do not have any time to waste.” I uttered walking forward while he trailed behind me. As soon as we were in the old house, he shut the door and then handed me what I needed.
“Explain everything to me, Jackson. I’m in a hurry so I have no time to read from line to line.
“Alpha Leo isn’t just any kind of wolf, but a Lycan king and…
“Skip the parts I know and tell me what I do not know.” I cut him off impatiently. Who didn’t know that Alpha Leo wasn’t a Lycan king,
“And that means he’s immune to wolfsbane. Unlike other wolves, wolfsbane doesn’t kill a Lycan”
“Then what can kill him? Jackson, you need to go to the main points here. I’m pretty impatient and annoyed just thinking about the fact that Katherine has someone that strong by her side.”
“I haven’t figured that out yet, but, he’s a Lycan, meaning he’s a beast and he’s capable of losing control. There’s a flower that can turn him against her and he’ll be forced to kill her. I think it’s best if he does the work for us.”
“What? How did you know that?”
“Through 3 days of constant research. I went through almost every book a human needs to know about Lycan’s and although it might be a superstition, it’s still worth the try”
I let out a smile, “Jackson, this is great. Find this flower wherever it is and bring it to me. You have one week to do so.” Deep down, I prayed this would be real. If Alpha Leo does the job himself then it would be a lot easier.
*We can continue your sister’s treatments for the good job, but do not disappoint me. Remember I don’t give second chances to anyone no matter how important they could be. He nodded his head,
“I’ll hold on to this. I need to know more about the bitch that threatened my husband. Who the hell does she think she is?”
“She’s a Lycan too and so it’s best.”
“Shut the hell up! Lycan or not, I would never be under their damn feet. Let’s see who laughs last at the end of everything.” I uttered, clutching the papers in my hands so tight. How the hell did Katherine end up having two damn lycans around her. She just had to be a lucky bitch at the wrong time.
“Leave any other thing you’re focusing on and get that flower as soon as possible,” I ordered and began to walk out of the old house. As soon as I got back to the car, I checked my phone to see a call from Zane and my heart skipped a bit.
I ignited the engine and drove out of the premises as soon as possible. The drive back home took me less than an hour, and when I got in. I was informed by one of the maids that Zane was in the room. I hurried towards the stare and headed straight for the room to see Zane on the bed with a bottle of vodka in his hand.
“Hey, baby, you’re drinking again?” Deep down I was burning with fury. What the fucking hell was wrong with Zane and how long was I going to continue to tolerate this attitude, I had to force a smile on
I sat down close to him on the bed,
Jane, is it even possible?” He asked,
“Is what possible? Did something bad happen at the company?”
“Is it possible that Katherine could have killed my father?” This time, my heart didn’t skip a beat but multiple beats when I heard Zane. Was he starting to doubt everything he had seen?
“I mean, I knew Katherine for 2 years, and there was no way I would believe she would have done such a thing to my father. He disliked her, but she never hated him and she proved that in countless ways.”
“Zane, you’re drunk okay? You should have some rest and we’ll talk tomorrow morning.” I responded, trying my possible best not to lose my cool. Why was Zane acting this way all of a sudden? Did he find out something and he was hiding it? Just the thought of it almost gave me a heart attack.
“What if it wasn’t her? Will Katherine ever forgive me after every damn thing I did to her?”
Zane’s words broke my heart into pieces, and the fear of losing him slowly began to creep into my heart as I stared at him,
“D.. D. Do you still love Katherine?”
